Posted by Issy Chamberlain on 21 March 2025

You've received your invitation, you've picked out your outfit, now you just need to select your gift! A simple task that can bring reality crashing in "what on earth can I get them?". One of the most popular brands that brings the weird and wonderful to the classy and elegant is Not on the Highstreet. This platform offers you a wide range of gifts and memorabilia for any event, recipient or occasion and is the ideal place to find the perfect gift for the perfect couple.

Listed below are Not on the Highstreet's most popular wedding gifts, along with expert insights from it's exclusive interview with multi-award-winning relationship coach Gemma Nice on how these gifts can strengthen relationships and keep the connection alive long after the wedding day.

Framed Picture with Potted Plant Personalised Where We First Met, Location Gift Print – From £7

Being able to pinpoint the moment a beautiful love story started or where it meets its climax of the wedding day is a memorable gift. We are easily lost in the motions of the romance and forget to look back at where it all started. Forget how you met, where did you meet? This print is available in different sizes and fonts, including circle or heart map styles.

Relationship coach Gemma Nice describes this gift as a daily reminder of love post-wedding. She goes on to explain "They are put up on the wall or used in different areas of the home, so when the couple pass them and see them, it brings a reminder of a happy, special day and the bond they share"

The road in love can sometimes be treacherous, it's important to look back and remind yourselves of where it all began.

Hanging Bird Dish Personalised Hanging Garden Bird Dish – Starting at £19.50 reduced from £26

As couples start their married lives, it's often found that the garden becomes a popular place in their home. Especially for our couples marrying in the warmer parts of the year.

The hanging bird dish is a timeless gift and goes with most garden designs. A staple for any newlyweds moving into their first home together.

Guest Book and Pen Personalised Wedding Guest Book – From £35

The gift a couple will always reach for post-wedding is the guest book. Seeing the heartfelt or funny messages form their guests brings back the happy tears and excitement of the day. This gift is perfect from those close to the couple, such as bridesmaids, groomsman, family members etc. Available in two sizes and thirteen colours, it's a chic and practical gift that allows the couple to collect messages from their guests, creating a keepsake for years to come. Don't forget to make the guest book theme fitting the colour palate and ensure the couple haven't already bought themselves one.

Gemma explains why couples would cherish this gift: "Guest books and photo albums preserve the memories of their special day, especially if loved ones have passed on," adding, "They can always come back to that wonderful day."

Box of Photos with Message Personalised Pull Out Photo Album Token Gift – From £22

Much like the above, gifting memories is always a winner on an emotional day. You can include pictures from the early part of their relationship or more specific moments. Either way, this is a brilliant keepsake that you can always come back to. This gift is also customisable with a personal message and custom box colour.

Framed Map with Embroidered heart Personalised Vintage Map Picture With Stitched Heart – From £35

A vintage-style personalised location print with a stitched heart is another wonderful option. Whether it marks their first date, engagement, or the moment they met, it's a lovely way to celebrate the couple's cherished location. Available in small or large gold antique-style frames, both come with a green velvet ribbon ready for hanging.

Personalised Chopping Board Personalised Olive Wood Wedding Gift Chopping Board - From £27.50

A high-quality chopping board isn't always something we treat ourselves to. If the couple you are buying for are cheese fanatics or love to cook together, then this is another meaningful present. This sustainable olive wood chopping board can be personalised with a heart and their names, you can even add their wedding date for that extra personal touch.

Personalised Bucket List Book Personalised Couples Bucket List Journal - £17

Post-wedding blues can mean that couples forget to still date their partner. Just because the ring is on and the document is signed, doesn't mean that you stop putting in the effort. Gifting a bucket list journal encourages the recipients to plan dates and adventures together to keep the excitement alive.

Gemma explains how date-planning gifts can help couples grow closer long after the wedding day: "It allows the couple to dream big and plan their future together, getting excited and putting things into place to actually go and do it." She adds how these gifts help couples bond, saying, "It's not just about the places, it's about the shared experiences they will go through, strengthening their bond and love for each other."

Understanding the couple and choosing a gift meaningful to them is the best way to show that you truly care. Pick something that will stand the test of time so that they can always look back on their special day with pride and love.
